Readiness Tool: A Guide for Exploring Check & Connect at Your Site

To assess the Implementing Site Indicator of CAPACITY, consider the following:

• Implementation costs

• Resources needed and available for implementation

Tip for this Section:

Having the capacity to implement is where the C&C National Office finds many sites needing the most support. Your leadership team may want to consider the following:

• Leadership:
  • Does the school/district/organization have leaders available and ready to serve on the implementation team?
  • Does the school/district/organization have leadership support throughout the stages of implementation in terms of both time and resources?
• Training:
  • Is the site prepared to participate in initial and ongoing training for leadership, coordinators, and mentors?
• Commitment to Fidelity:
  • Is the site committed to implementing with fidelity?
• Staffing:
  • Does the site understand the staffing needs for implementing with fidelity?
• Access to Data:
  • Will mentors have access to student data on a weekly basis for attendance, behavior, and course performance?
